City in negotiations regarding north Monrovia hillside properties
Council to consider repealing Japanese incarceration resolutions; solar panels on reservoir; reimbursing preservation group
~ Repealing two old City Council resolutions from the World War II era that supported incarcerating Japanese Americans during the war. Details.
~ Having solar panels added to the roof of the reservoir on Mountain Avenue. The array would be owned by JNG Power, which would build and maintain the system, and would sell electricity to the city for 15 percent less than Southern California Edison charges, saving the city about $32,000 per year. Details.
~ Reimbursing the Monrovia Historic Preservation Group $20,000 for its work in having Old Town be considered for the National Register of Historic Places. Getting on the register encourages the preservation and restoration of historic properties but places no restrictions on what a private owner may do with their property, up to and including demolition, unless the property is part of a project that receives Federal assistance. Details.

Saint is pretty much a saint; gentle, intelligent, with a heart of gold
Meet Saint, a two-year-old brown German Shepherd at Pasadena Humane with the perfect blend of brains and charm. He loves to start his day in the training yard where he likes to show off his “sit,” “watch me,” and “down” commands. He takes treats gently, leans in for affection, and trotting around with a toy in his mouth. He’s easy to leash, easy to walk, and often cruises along with his signature shepherd swagger.
In his foster home, Saint proved just how wonderful he truly is: he’s potty-trained, calm indoors, has shown himself to be gentle with children, and made friends with another dog. He’s polite with new people once given a moment to warm up, and rides quietly in the car like a seasoned travel companion. Saint is ready to be someone’s loyal, loving shadow. If you’re looking for a gentle, intelligent pup with a heart of gold, come meet Saint. He’s so ready for his forever family!

Review: The memoir of Monrovia founder William Monroe
I just finished reading William Newton Monroe‘s Life: In His Own Words. It’s an interesting look at the man who did so much in founding Monrovia.
In reading it, it is clear that Monroe was an organizer and a builder. A builder of railroads, a builder of our town, a builder of businesses.
But… he wasn’t really a writer. While the book is filled with interesting information about his life and Monrovia, it is expressed as an unedited memoir written when he was 91 years old, so there are portions that are occasionally unclear. Nevertheless, the material is fascinating.
For example, he was a redhead. I had no clue.
Also, I always thought Monrovia was named directly after him, but that’s only indirectly true. He and his wife started a fruit ranch here that they called “Monroevia,” then when the town was being planned a cofounder suggested dropping the “e” from the ranch name, creating “Monrovia.”
And why does Monrovia have so many streets named after fruits and flowers (Magnolia, Lemon, Lime, etc.)? Well, that was his wife, Mary Jane’s, idea.
And lots more.
There are stories about his Civil War battles, railroad building in the Continental United States, Alaska, and Mexico, and of course, the founding of Monrovia.
So if you’re looking for a gift for someone with an interest in Monrovia history, or for yourself, I think this is a winner. You can get it at Charlie’s House, 430 S. Myrtle, for $30.

Monrovia biotech company speeding up discovery of new drugs
I got AI to add a bit more detail:
"Essentially, Terray is attempting to revolutionize drug discovery by replacing slow, traditional laboratory work with a hyper-accelerated AI-driven system that finds completely novel drug candidates much faster and more successfully than before.
...
"You can think of Terray’s approach like a highly efficient search engine for new medicines. Instead of manually flipping through millions of pages (traditional testing), Terray uses a microscopic device (tArray) to rapidly scan billions of pages (data points). Then, their AI (EMMI) uses this enormous, high-quality dataset to intelligently suggest the next best "page" to look at, rather than just suggesting pages similar to the ones already read, ensuring they quickly discover new ideas no one has seen before."
